    TGIF! Here’s your development news round-up for the past week!

    Player Bans June 15 - June 21

    As a reminder, the following numbers are permanently frozen accounts, and don't count temporary freezes.

    FB: 16
    KP2: 9

    The majority of permanently frozen accounts are frozen for being a shared or alternate account. This is something we actively investigate, and we appreciate players reporting suspicious accounts to us.

    If you have any questions or comments about a frozen account, please direct them through Support as the Forums are not the place to discuss account freezes, because of the sensitive account information involved.

    New Limited Items!

    A new week means new Limited Items! Here’s what’s up for grabs:

    Event Survey Results!

    In case you missed our post earlier this week (http://forums.kanoapps.com/threads/event-survey-results.15937/) we put up some of the results of the Event survey we sent out a couple weeks ago. You should go read the whole post for information about the other games as well as the general trends we saw from the questions that were a bit harder to present in nice, clean graphs. Based on the survey results, here are the favorite event and in-game activity for Viking Clan:

    Support Report with your favorite burrowing nocturnal mammal and Answerpreneur, Aardvark!

    Happy Friday!

    Hope you're all doing better than I am right now! It's blistering hot here in Kanopolis and as one of those auspicious individuals with a desk next to a window, I am constantly torn between keeping it open to let in the breeze or closed to shut out the endless sound-tapestry of jackhammers, car alarms and crying toddlers.

    Some fun facts! As most of you know, the Kano team is relatively small. There are currently 20 people in the company, and of that 4 of us are what we call "LiveOps" - staff dedicated to managing accounts and engaging directly with players through Support, the forums, etc.

    We try to make sure people know who we are - I like to introduce to LiveOps team members here in the Support Report, and we generally have unique titles on the forums. Many most team members belong to the [KANO] Factions in the games, and have recognizable game handles. We're not often in the game chats, but when we are the system will identify our posts as being from an admin.

    So, if an unfamiliar person sends you a private message and claims to be representing Kano/Apps or the game, be careful! DO NOT discuss any information about your account, and please let Support know ASAP, especially if it happens inside the game or on our forums! If someone is pretending to be a Kano Team member we want to put a stop to it as soon as we can.

    Cheers,

    Aardvark

    Terrible Joke of the Week

    Here's your lame joke of the week!

    I went to a zoo last weekend, but it only had one dog.
    It was a shih tzu.

    That's it for TGIF this week, everybody! Thanks for reading and have a great weekend!

    I recognise the hockey stick, maple leaf and the Canadian flag of course but the 4th graphic of the Canuck challenge has me stumped. To me it looks like the invisible man wearing a beanie hat and false beard that are made out of poppies. Any ideas what it really is? o_O

    It is a beard toque (or beanie for you non-Canadians)! It's wool cap with a false wool beard. :)

    Oh really? Well I can see why it has never caught on anywhere else. I suppose for Canadians it's a unisex garment :)
